What to Study? Why Study?
Alben Wong (Th.M.) Rethinking the meaning of learning Graduation is approaching, and my heart is filled with gratitude. Time is limited, but grace transcends the limitations of time. My studies from Master of Divinity to Master of Theology were full of grace. I have to thank Baptist Theological Seminary for allowing a lazy person like me to enjoy the joy of learning again and again in ample time. During this period, the guidance of the teachers and mentors helped me to understand again and again what pastoral workers should read and why they should read.

After receiving confirmation, I raised my hand in tears to respond to the call at the missionary meeting; the tears were not from sadness, but because I saw the urgent needs in the missionary field. On the one hand, I am becoming more and more certain that God wants to send me on a missionary journey, and on the other hand, I am studying theology full-time; the two are not one at the expense of the other, but rather complement each other. From then on, the "missionary path" and the "theological path" were intertwined in my "path of life". Although I am old and the beginning may be difficult, when I embarked on this path, I found that it was a journey of grace and no regrets. ...
